Call up Nintendo of Europe, Deg. There have been quite a few cases (I've handled at least 20-30) of people having this issues and it's been found that some power cords are faulty. Call them up and get a replacement cord. It's MOST LIKELY that.

Know anyone else with a Wii? Try their power cord first to save yourself a phone call. Or hell, walk into a local game shop and see if they have one you can try.

I don't know about England, but here in the States most, if not all, retail stores have a 90 day in-store policy. Seeing though you had to have gotten it less than 90 days ago, you should be able to take it back and get a new one. That is, depending on your retail warranty laws.

That seems most likely, I've done nothing to the console itself to encourage malfunction.

Where has a 90 day return policy on electronics? Most stores it's 30 days.

All right, we are going to use a fan brush here and uh why don't you take some hunter green and we are going to put a happy little bush right down over here in the corner there and that'll just be our little secret and if you tell anyone that that bush is there I will come to your house and I will cut you.

He's probably actually thinking of the warranties companies provide their games/systems. THough I think some, if not most systems, go for a year. X360 and I believe my PS2 do anyway.

Warranty shit aside.....when it comes to video game systems and malfunctioning products....MOST retail stores like to be asswipes (I'm talking to you Toy's R Us) and refer the consumer to the manufacturer.

Deg...dont listen to them...returning would be fucking retarded anyway...WHO EVEN HAS WII CONSOLES?
